Btw. Ramzi, is there any other music you like, besides Kate Bush? Being so heavily into Kate Bush, I guess you might enjoy Peter Gabriel, Joni Mitchell or Tori Amos... :)
― Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Friday, 6 October 2006 23:49 (seventeen years ago) link
any other music? hehe, okay. i started with The Breeders as a preteen - obsessed (still love em). Then came Belly, Throwing Muses, Juliana Hatfield, Bjork (BJORK!). Then came the whole Pink Floyd, Emerson Lake and Palmer, Zep, The Doors thing. Then TORI TORI TORI. And sprinkle some Joni in.
Then, senior year of college (year and a half ago now?), Kate Bush. Biggest, baddest, most recent.
Never heard the Gabriel! I know, I should investigate right? Or Bowie?
so yeah. thanks for rearing your geiry head! ;P

Anyway, so I see you only discovered the Kate. That might explain your terrible obsession now, and I hope the likes of Geir gives you a break when they consider that this is all very new to you.
Never heard of Peter Gabriel? Ouch. If there was ever a perfect male accompaniment to Kate, it's him. They've done more than one duet together I assume you know? Try "Don't Give Up" on Gabriel's "So" album for starters, you'll recognize Kate's voice in there right away. They also did a duet of Roy Harper's "Another Day" but I don't know if that exists with anything other than HORRIBLE sound quality. I've got a video of them together on a TV program doing that, but again horrible quality. Anyway as far as Gabriel solo, I must stick my head in and recommend either his self-titled album with the melted face sleeve (he has a lot of albums titled Peter Gabriel, so watch out, they are known by the sleeves) which I believe also features Kate on backing vocals on a few tracks, and also I particularly like his live album from the early 80's entitled "Peter Gabriel Plays Live" which if you've read the entire Aerial thread you will have already bored of hearing me speak about! Haha.
Bless you Ramzi.

You may start by checking out "Don't Give Up" and "Games Without Frontiers", considering Kate Bush sings on both. :)

wait, what are you humming?
and he said, The Dreaming, like the song - i was so impressed! ;P
― Ramzi Awn (rra123), Sunday, 8 October 2006 19:18 (seventeen years ago) link
anyway, i'm getting really into Constellation of the Heart.
it seems like this really fun song that could have been played in a video arcade in like 1989.

oh my!!! poor me. on a music-related note, this album is still tops.
― Surmounter, Monday, 27 August 2007 23:42 (sixteen years ago) link
very Fall.
― Surmounter, Monday, 27 August 2007 23:43 (sixteen years ago) link
Haha apparently -- I just put this on for the first time in like 15 years! (Then searched for thread.)
― anatol_merklich, Tuesday, 29 September 2009 22:41 (fourteen years ago) link
Holy shit it's only five albums ago*, but it just dawned on me that in a moment this thing is thirty years old!
*) Counting Aerial as "current". Lol bushtime. :)

GREAT headphone/earbud album. Delius into Blow Away is masterful. Then hang around for the rest... This girl was channeling some real olde tyme witchy energy as a youth, I'm certain.

Lovely thread. I feel I should put this on today, but I'm at one of kate's opposites on the musical wheel right now.

What is that weeping half-synth-half-guitar noise that's all over Egypt? It makes me sit up and take notice every time I hear it and I have never heard it on any other record ever.
― Matt DC, Sunday, 6 April 2014 14:41 (ten years ago) link
i assumed it was some monophonic synth sound, but not sure exactly
― clouds, Sunday, 6 April 2014 16:00 (ten years ago) link
Minimoog according to Discogs. Also a Prophet-5 on it but pretty sure that's deployed in the coda.
― Naive Teen Idol, Sunday, 6 April 2014 19:08 (ten years ago) link
This is totally classic. Don't forget to mix Blow Away for Bill with Night Scented Stock, because they do indeed sync perfectly.
― Unchanging Window (Ross), Sunday, 9 July 2017 06:32 (six years ago) link
* sync the intro of blow away with Night sceneted stock as they produce harmonies that mesh
